Recently I watched Disney’s animation movie, The Jungle Book, with two of my grandchildren.
When the Bengal tiger, Shere Kahn comes on the scene, the six-year-old stated, “I don’t like him.”
Though a fictional character, meaning Shere Kahn is not real, the author created the main antagonist of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book with skill. For the animation feature film, the actor who voiced the character did such a good job that my young viewers had an emotional reaction to the tiger.
A writer has one job to do and that is to elicit an emotional response in the reader.
